Vince McMahon is an entity that instills fear in every WWE superstar. His control over his superstars is not nefarious, it is just respect they show their boss who has been in the business for the better half of a century. So it comes as very shocking that Becky Lynch, one of the top WWE superstars, did something so out of the norm.

Over the years, WWE has seen many competitions rise and fall. From WCW to TNA, everyone had their moment atop the mountain. But WWE superstars were told strictly to not give the public any indication of a relationship between them and the rival’s talent.
That’s why many real-life couples move to WWE together; Karrien Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux or Zelina Vega and Aleister Black. So it’s surprising to see Becky Lynch’s reaction to AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door.

Were Lynch’s actions the result of Mr. McMahon stepping down? As an outsider, that is the first assumption one might possibly have. But the argument could also be that big stars are allowed some liberty in this space. The Rock has made plenty of appearances outside of WWE and Charlotte Flair regularly goes out to her husband, Andrade El Idolo’s shows.
But on the other hand, a few wrestlers have expressed discontent with being treated poorly, because they had worked in a rival company or had family working there. A prime example of this is Kurt Angle.
